Favourite Games

SpeedBall 2 - Original Amiga version only.
Monkey Island 1 - Yes, I know everyone liked 2 better. I preferred 1 'cos I had no expectations.
Turrican 3 - Laser! Shield! Multiple! Powerup!
THPS3 - Probably not the highlight of the series, but the first one I played.
Halo - Laugh all you want, I thought it was brilliant.
Fallout 1 - The only RPG I've felt compelled to finish.

Fun fact: I'd probably list completely different games if I were to do this again.
